CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 243: WHEN FELLOW COUNTRYMEN MEET, TEARS FILL THEIR EYES

After dawdling for quite a while, the little milk bundle was finally taken away by Yelyu Lie and placed in the wet nurse’s hands.

The little fellow was well-behaved and even waved a tiny hand at its mother, cooing softly.

Clearly, only a few days old, this little one’s intelligence was truly unlike any ordinary child.

The wet nurse found it novel, deeply cherishing this fair and soft milk bundle.

After Yelyu Lie closed the door, wanting to be intimate with his little wife, he heard her ask, "That young lady earlier was..."

Through the thin bed curtain, Yun Chunnuan saw the woman standing next to her mother-in-law in the bedroom.

Even though she had never met her, there was a kind of premonition she had.

The girl, who appeared extremely young, should indeed be the mysterious Grandmaster.

Unaware of what had happened while she was unconscious, it must have been something very important for her to have come.

"Grandmaster."

Yelyu Lie introduced her with only a simple phrase.

As for the matter of the child being lost, he didn’t tell his little wife.

Since everything had returned to normal, why bother talking about it, only to add to her worries?

Upon confirming it was indeed the Grandmaster, a radiant light shone in Yun Chunnuan’s slightly arched phoenix eyes.

She propped herself up, intending to rise.

But Yelyu Lie hurriedly held her down, "Lie right there, you just woke up and you’re already causing a fuss!"

It was only now that Yun Chunnuan’s thoughts finally settled on her husband.

He had grown noticeably thinner, his originally chiseled face appearing even more heroic and upright. In his affectionate, shallow pupils, there was worry, longing, and a hint of grievance.

Yun Chunnuan curled her lips, placing her small hand on his once well-nurtured, now rough-again large hand.

"Husband, you’ve worked hard these days."

One sentence from his little wife made Yelyu Lie’s eyes redden, "What hard work? The truly hard-working person is you."

Superfluous words stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

His little wife had been hovering at the Ghost Gate repeatedly, and there was so little he could do.

Yelyu Lie felt utterly useless, only wishing he could bear it all for her.

But he couldn’t; he could only accompany her.

Another hand reached out, enveloping the slender little hand in his palm, "Nuannuan, let’s not have any more children in the future. The first time was also the last, having just you two is enough for me."

Yun Chunnuan blushed, teasing him with a smile, "If you make fewer attempts, there wouldn’t be any more. What if another one slips through, who can say for sure?"

These last two sentences were spoken in a very low voice with her face flushed.

Yet Yelyu Lie heard it in his ears, leaning forward to whisper softly in her ear, "You heal your body first. I won’t touch you until you’re well. Once you’re recovered, none of what’s due will be skipped."

As for the issue of offspring, he would resolve it from himself, removing any future troubles permanently.

"You pervert!" Yun Chunnuan slapped him lightly, "I just woke up and you already... Can you be a proper person?"

"If I didn’t think about it, then I wouldn’t be a person." Yelyu Lie grumbled, unwilling to yield.

He had married for less than half a year, and damn, the baby was already born!

Even before that little wolf pup arrived, it was not even two months.

In these two months, his little wife’s monthly cycle took half a month away!

It means he barely got over a month of indulgence before being forced not to even kiss his wife’s little mouth!

Oppressive!

Absolutely damn oppressive!

If it weren’t for that little wolf pup...

Yelyu Lie ground his teeth; no matter how cute his plump son was, in his eyes, he was unbearably vexing.

Yun Chunnuan laughed helplessly; she could even foresee the future, where the father and son would certainly be at odds.

How could this be resolved?

The two were chatting, plus with the eager anticipation Yun Chunnuan had to meet the Grandmaster outside, the initial words intended to be said were completely forgotten.

She wanted to tell her husband that before the childbirth, the lunatic had come.

But truly, being pregnant really made one muddle-headed for three years, as the thoughts in her head were immediately forgotten after a couple of interruptions.

Under Yun Chunnuan’s urging, Yelyu Lie still unwillingly invited Shen Ruosui in.

He understood that the Grandmaster and his little wife were very likely from the same world.

His little wife was so eager to see the Grandmaster; she must have had a lot to say.

Even if he wanted to stay and listen, he should be tactful enough not to intrude.

The saying goes: Fellow villagers see fellow villagers, tears well up in their eyes.

Yun Chunnuan, upon seeing the Grandmaster, was indeed filled with complex emotions, and tears started to fall.

Shen Ruosui, despite being as calm as she could be, this was her first genuine encounter with the young girl face-to-face after being trapped for four cycles.

The two of them came from the same world, like being stranded on an island, where initially you thought were alone, and suddenly there’s another with the same fate.

Shen Ruosui always thought she was quite calm, quite detached from it all.

At this moment, seeing the young girl’s eyes reddened, she hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the tears off her small face with a silk handkerchief, "Don’t cry anymore, just gave birth to a child, crying too much isn’t good for your eyes."

"You’re so heartless." When the young girl spoke, shockingly, it was with such a statement.

Shen Ruosui was left stunned.

She, however, continued aggrievedly, "I sought you several times, so eager to meet you, why did you always avoid me? Hiding in the dark, yet pushing everything onto me, and despite it all, I was so confused, completely clueless about what was going on.

You’re also from that world, why couldn’t you show up and meet me once?

When I first arrived here, I was scared and helpless, knowing someone had traveled here before me, I thought it was my mother, filled with both happiness and dread, who knew..."

She spoke with grievances, and the more Shen Ruosui listened, the more uncomfortable she felt inside.

If the young girl knew that this was not her first time being in this world, that she had gone through life-and-death separations repeatedly with the silly apprentice...

Could such a fragile one bear it?

Shen Ruosui truly hadn’t wanted to reveal herself and had even been deliberately avoiding all along.

Even if the young girl had directly gone to Nanqi from the Storage Ring Space, she wouldn’t have found her.

She was hiding.

Not wanting to develop even the slightest feeling towards the people here anymore.

If she were to leave, she didn’t know how grief-stricken she would become.

The first task went smoothly, yet after leaving, she felt so terrible she spent an entire month at the rest stop in the space before starting her second journey.

This time...

"Little Nuannuan, you and I are different."

Shen Ruosui had pondered for quite a while but decided to lay all the cards on the table with the young girl.

If it happened like before, Ying Ce, that lunatic, might cause some unimaginable trouble again.

Only by letting Little Nuannuan know and stay vigilant might she fundamentally resolve that lunatic problem herself.

Yet, looking at the young girl’s frail figure, Shen Ruosui was still genuinely worried if she could truly bear all that.

There was also her baby...

Why it changed was something she couldn’t understand, no matter how hard she tried to fathom it.

If the memories of the past three lifetimes were given to her, and in one of those, she lived peacefully until old age with her parents in her world, how would she react?
